Urology, 1994To test the ability of gastric muscularis to act as a urinary sphincter in a rat model system.Fourteen Long-Evans rats had an ileal conduit constructed joining the bladder to the ventral skin, creating urinary incontinence. A segment of gastric muscle maintained on its vascular pedicle was encircled around the conduit. The first 7 animals (group A) had

Acta Radiologica, 1987
A small selected group of patients with urinary incontinence can be treated effectively with an artificial urinary sphincter. Since the fluid in the hydraulic system of this device is radiopaque, radiography is useful in its evaluation. An immediate postoperative radiogram should be performed to control the position and integrity of the system. It also
